Preceding the meeting OF the Council, las,
night, Alderman Rail took the chair and the
clerk read the call of the joint convention of the
Board of Aldermen and Common Council, which
met for the momentous purpose of electng an
assistant janitor for Tomlinson Hall to fill the
vacancy caused by the death OF John Ross.
| Eighteen councilmen and five aldermen an
swered to the call of the roll. There not being a
majority of eash body present. Councilman
| Pearson moved the convention adjourn to meet
subject to the call of the president. Mr.. Rail
The motion carried, and the joint convention ad-
| journed.
The session of the Council began immediately
afterward, Mayor Denny presiding. The bust
ness was. for the most part. unmportant, and
| was transacted with commendable dispatch
City Civil Engineer Shearer reported that he
had been informed by v. T. Malott. vice-presi-
dent and manager of the Union Railway Com
| pany, that the amount of damages which his
company should pay for the condemnation of
the right of way for the erection of the Union
railway viaduct. has been for some time
ready to be paid into the treasury. However,
since the report Of the city commissioners,
Frank NJ Dell, VIM. DELL G. r Root and Peter
+. Bryce have filed appeal bonds. Mr.. Malott
says that were it not for the appeals, the Union
Railway Company is ready and willing to pro-
coed with the erection OF the viaduct, and to
pay oil damages assessed against the company
by reason Of the opening Mr. Shearer begged
leave to report that delay until the cases can
be heard on appeal will simply mean that the
viaduct will not be built this year. Mr. Pearson
moved that the Union Railway Company proceed
at once to build the viaduct, pending the appeal.
